Hi All,I need help from users who have some experience with microtonality (or overrides in general) in Lilypond to create a recipe for lilypond notation for the Kite Guitar (kiteguitar.com). The Kite Guitar uses 41 equal divisions of the octave in a clever way, which balances practicality with playability to get a very close approximation to 7-limit Just Intonation.
I have made some attempts, but I don't really know Lilypond so well that I can create a handy recipe such as this. I did some research and found http://x31eq.com/lilypond/ which is helpful, but I am unable to make the necessary tweaks with my limited knowledge. (I am happy to send over what I tried to do, but as my attempts have only failed I do not want to confuse anyone.)
The overarching specs are: 1. 41 Equal Divisions of the Octave Tablature-specific: 2. Frets are spaced two EDO-steps apart (i.e. 2 of the 41) 3. Strings are tuned 13 EDO-steps apart (i.e. 13 of the 41)^^Lilypond will either need to find the pitch, or allow the user to override the current calculation as what I am getting is for a standard guitar.
Notation-specific:4. There are Sharps and Flats, but there are also upwards "^", double-upwards "^^", downwards "v", and "double-downwards "vv". (see https://en.xen.wiki/w/Ups_and_Downs_Notation ) 5. There needs to be some way to set upwards/downwards in the key signature. ^^ it would be super-nice if this could be done globally, so that a composer can focus on the music-making
Chord-charts:6. Support for chord charts such as https://en.xen.wiki/w/Kite_Guitar_Translations_by_Aaron_Wolf#Auld_Lang_Syne
Any help is appreciated. The growing community of Kite Guitar players would really appreciate this (many of whom are fellow software libre supporters/advocates). Also, I can send over some sample scores created with MuseScore once I receive permission to share them.
Thanks in Advance! Devin
